Here are the remaining games (and my predictions) for Houston and Utah. I think we can go 4-1 and finish the season at 52-30. I'm counting our win against Phoenix because hopefully they're still 3 games ahead of the Spurs at this point and they'll rest their starters when they play us. Utah on the other hand has a tougher schedule and I see them going 3-3 for the last 6 games and finishes the season at 51-31. Rockets schedule: @ Seattle (W) @ Portland (W) vs. New Orleans (W) vs. Phoenix (W) Phoenix starters should see limited minutes @ Utah (L) Rockets and Utah play their bench for the final regular season game. Utah schedule: @ Golden State (L) Desperate team vs. Denver (L) Desperate team @ Dallas (W) Dallas starters should see limited minutes vs. Phoenix (L) Hopefully San Antonio keeps it close which forces Phoenix to play their starters for this game. vs. Portland (W) vs. Houston (W) Let's discuss!!!
I agree except that they will win against Denver and lose to Dallas. Dallas is still trying to catch some record by winning the remaining games (maximum 69 wins) and Denver may prefer to drop a spot and play Phoenix over San Antonio considering the recent success they've had with the Suns. I still think we'll beat Utah in Utah. The game means too much for us to rest our players. If the game can decide whether we get homecourt or not, we won't rest our guys. We'll probably play them for three quarters and if we're still in, then we'll go for the kill. Otherwise, we'll rest them in the final quarter. We're gonna get homecourt, I believe!
